Stop Talking About Social and Do It - Nilofer Merchant. “Leadership” has changed when a decentralized group of people can take down a government. “The Value Chain” has changed when the customer is no longer just the “buyer” but also a co-creator. “Human Resources” have changed when most of the people who create value for your organization are neither hired nor paid by you. “Competition” has changed when individuals can create value through a centralized network of resources: for example, designing a product from anywhere, producing it through a 3D factory, financing it through community and distribution from anywhere to anywhere. Yet our business models have not changed to keep pace with these shifts.

This five-part series has shared case studies and examples of how the social era affects all areas of the business model: how we create, deliver, and capture value. (See part one, part two, part three, and part four.) Here’s a quick visual summary of what we’ve covered so far: From paid to purpose-driven. From centralized to distributed. Will Facebook Timeline for Pages Help or Hurt Brands? Facebook Timeline has arrived for brand Pages.

As expected, it's a radical departure from what brands are used to on the network. The update incorporates a plethora of new features for Page administrators to take advantage of. But there will be a learning curve, and plenty of trial-and-error along the way. So the question is: Will Timeline help or hurt brands? Mashable recently sought out an expert to learn more. "It's an opportunity for brands to tell more engaging stories on Facebook than they can now," Schafer said. But that focus can be a double edged sword, he added. "I think we'll see the chasm grown between the highly engaging and less engaging brands," Schafer said. Schafer pointed to brands with segmented operations as ones who will struggle compared to those who are able to concisely define what they do under one umbrella.

"There's going to be a little bit of chaos when brands try to figure out what to do with all those tabs that they've got," he said. Baselining Social Business Maturity: Why and How.

Study Finds Enterprise 2.0 Reaps Results. A report published last week illuminates just how some organizations are using social tools inside and outside their enterprise and what results they’re seeing, and it’s worth a read. The report “When Social Meets Business Real Work Gets Done” shows tangible gains from the use of social initiatives within organizations of all sizes. Written by MIT professor Andrew McAfee, the paper reveals the results of an AIIM study that looked at the progress of social business technologies in organizations from 10 to over 5,000 employees, with a focus on three use cases: sales and marketing collaboration, open innovation and enterprise Q&A. "All three areas addressed by the Task Force demonstrate that when people engage properly with each other and with technology, trust, self-organization, and good business results emerge," McAfee said in a press release.

Some of the key findings: Les marques ne maîtrisent pas les réseaux sociaux. "Gagner et conserver ses clients devient de plus en plus compliqué", déclare Frédérique Bonhomme, directrice de projet au sein de la Digital Factory de TNS Sofres.

Sociale media en de mogelijkheid die ze bieden een risico te vormen voor de reputatie van een bedrijf of diens vertrouwelijke informatie, vormen een significant risico voor Europese bedrijven. Zo blijkt uit een studie die gevoerd werd door de Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA) in samenwerking met het Institute of Risk Management (IRM), waarin risk professionals werd gevraagd welke drie cyberrisico’s volgens hen de belangrijkste bedreiging vormen voor bedrijven in het algemeen en voor hun organisatie in het bijzonder.

Bijna de helft van de respondenten haalde het risico op imagoschade via sociale media aan als risico voor bedrijven in het algemeen. Eén op vijf voegde daar ook het risico op het lekken van vertrouwelijke informatie via sociale media aan toe. Verder bleek uit de studie dat de meeste bedrijven een policy hebben rond het gebruik van sociale media (65%) of bezig zijn er een te implementeren (14%).

InShare324 Part three in a series introducing The End of Business as Usual…Written by Frank Eliason (@frankeliason) Certainly not a statement you would expect to hear from the person formerly known as @ComcastCares, but I think it is an important perspective to consider if we are to build stronger relationships with customers.

As I look around I see many interesting aspects of social media from large and small businesses. and I am very excited to see companies trying new things to reach their customers. But we are now moving in a new direction and I think too few see it yet.

Map. 9/11 mistake shows we're still learning the boundaries of Twitter. Twitter needs no introduction these days – TV and radio shows seem to mention it all the time, meaning that even the least tech-savvy of people have a basic idea of what it is and how it works.

However, yesterday showed that we’re still learning the boundaries of how it’s acceptable to use tweets. Yesterday’s tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks saw a number of news organisations recounting the events of that day in 2001 on Twitter as a real-time list of events. The AP and The Daily were two of those, mixing details from the day of the attacks with coverage of the ten year memorial ceremony. Meanwhile, The Guardian chose to open up a separate Twitter account, @911tenyearsago, solely to retell the events as they happened.

Both approaches were similar, however The Guardian’s received such a backlash that it was forced to stop tweeting its updates early. So, why was The Guardian’s approach – a dedicated account, separate from its main feed, so offensive to some? A Wiki of Social Media Monitoring Solutions.

Of all the social-media lessons U.S. Rep Anthony Weiner has provided us with his career-killing sexting scandal, the classic is a boneheaded example of how to take down a well-respected brand with a few bad key strokes. Let's call it The Weiner Principle. Such poor tweeting judgment is what brand managers fear most when they pass social media chores to their workers.

Their failings are egregious (Remember Rep. Christopher Lee?) And they are many. War, what is it good for? Say it again, Kenneth Cole. "Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Ouch! Cole later tweeted that he did not intend "to make light of serious situation. At least Cole didn’t blame it on some outsourced social media company. However, Internet jokesters weren’t so quick to let the faux pas slide. A fake @KennethColePR Twitter feed popped up featuring disaster themed tweets such as: "Of course there are no gays in Iran, they're all shopping at my new outlet in Dubai.

Yesterday I explored in detail on ZDNet some of the issues that businesses are encountering as social media moves into the enterprise space in a truly strategic way this year.

Not only is there a proliferation of new applications for external and internal social media, but traditional business applications are often getting social media capabilities incorporated into them. I cited Salesforce, Saba, Oracle, and SAP as just a few of the many examples I’m aware of as enterprise vendors add social media functionality to their existing products. This is posing a growing challenge for organizations that are trying to assemble a mature set of social media capabilities across their business. It hasn’t helped that social business initiatives have — up until recently — consisted of very separate efforts focused primarily on social media marketing and internal collaboration (aka Enterprise 2.0) often with side bets on crowdsourcing and Social CRM.
